Syllabus

<p>Election law — Falsifying returns — Evidence—Charge.</p> <p>1. A conviction of falsifying election returns will not be set aside because the trial judge stated that the jury could consider the Act of April 16, 1903, P. L. 217, providing for a return of the election papers within three days, inasmuch as such act has nothing to do with the crime charged in the indictment.</p> <p>Practice, C. P. — Trial—Remarles of counsel.</p> <p>2. Where objection and exception is taken to alleged objectionable remarks of counsel, and the party objecting is given the opportunity to withdraw a juror and continue the case, but refuses to do so, but goes to trial on the merits, he waives his objection to the alleged improper remarks.</p>
